I don't know how to clearly write the following sentence..... Andrew Macpherson is the photographer who has made The Best images of the people most often photographed. Does that make sense? Looking through this book, for the first time, for the second time, for the fifth time - i was struck by how often it is his photographs in which these oft-photographed, iconic figures look the best they have ever looked.

I've known about Macpherson since he began with The Face, but never really had a sense of his complete catalog of images until recently. He's simply wonderful. And, from all accounts, he seems to be a wonderful person, as well. That's too rare.

It's sad that this talented photographer lost so much of his original work in that warehouse fire. I had read about this prior to seeing the book in person, and wondered about the quality of the reproductions, as some come from scans of actual tear sheets. There is nothing to be concerned about, though. The book is beautiful, through and through.

It may be too early, but i am eagerly anticipating the next book.

This book shows some really stunning work. Beautiful shots, and stunning BW images. The cover image is my favorite. I didn't know much about the photographer and his cover shot sold me on the book. I have enjoyed having it and feel it is a good book to have as part of my collection. Some of the images are fast paced, because the photographer was at the right place at the right time. I love how raw some of the images are, and the compositions are simple and clean, he really knows how to capture his subjects. Less is more.

I was amazed at the photography in this book. Andrew Macpherson captures the inner beauty and souls of his subjects. The lighting is extraordinary and the colors give every photo outstanding depth. Andrew is truly a gifted artist!
